Isotope nephrography in the evaluation of renal transplant recipients. 1975

L Laasonen

131I-hippuren nephrography (renography) has proved valuable in the assessment of function in renal transplants. Acute rejection can be detected at an early stage and the response to intensified immunosuppression can be followed. Renal circulation and urinary flow can also be studied. Serial examinations are important for the evaluation of early changes.

D007165	Immunosuppression Therapy	Deliberate prevention or diminution of the host's immune response. It may be nonspecific as in the administration of immunosuppressive agents (drugs or radiation) or by lymphocyte depletion or may be specific as in desensitization or the simultaneous administration of antigen and immunosuppressive drugs.
